Dropping Saturday delivery would save a bunch, and eliminate the nutty shifts (swing men, etc).
Stop delivering 1.6 billion tons of junk mail daily.
The mail will disappear like absentee ballots did.
Can it actually be any slower?
Whoa... great idea. You are in the hole, mostly because you are slow and irrelevant, so slow down your service even more. That’s gonna really pack people in!
Ridiculous. I’ll bet if President Trump was currently in the White House (where he *should* be), he’d fix this mess in a heartbeat.
They went broke shipping all those fake ballots.
Good.
However, having six-day mail might save the postal service some of the costs and headaches of absenteeism. I’m not sure how it works now, but some years back, I was acquainted with a letter carrier and learned that they had a “traveling” day off. It moved a day from week to week, until after so many weeks, they would have off Saturday and the following Monday as well as the Sunday in between, for a three-day weekend. And that schedule made it easy for them to schedule any sort of appointment they might need to during one of their regularly scheduled days off during the week (they also had a regular person who filled in for them doing their route on their day off). If that’s still how things are done, then eliminating Saturday service could create other problems.
Resolve budget issues with higher costs and less customer service. Only the FedGov. Funny. Walking the trash form the “box”;to the house is so difficult. Y
Trump handpicked Dejoy
He picked the guy doing this.
They probably copied their tactic from FedEx. Yeah, that’s how you get people to use your service and make money, turn next day air into 4th day air, frequently lose packages, and treat your customers like total garbage. USPS and FedEx are the perfect example of what not to do.
Put Scott Walker (Wisconsin) in charge, he’d fix the place.

they need to cut the number of employees and go with more part time....THEN they can cut hrs......
Haha an email . . .priceless!
USPS must continue to adapt and improvise.
Unless something changed in recent years, USPS is self-funding via counter sales — not taxation. But, Congress forces USPS to fund pensions 15 years in advance.
The projected losses should be easy to correct.
I’ve never noticed an overstaffed Post Office.
USPS should be given more control over the pension requirements.
its frustrating
they complained they were losing money because fedex and ups were taking too much of their business
now that more people are using them they are losing money because they have more paxkages to deliver
give em more of what they say they need, they still lose money
